Summary |
Relax Stress & Sleep Spray is a product created to enhance quality sleep for users. It employs a spray based system to deliver a variety of herbal extracts, which are purported to induce sleep. The official website explains that you can spray this product “on your pillow, sheets and even your pajamas” in order to achieve “the relaxation you deserve”.
In reviewing this formulary, we are pleased to note that it is all natural, vegetarian and organic when possible, and is handmade. It is also a “cruelty free” product, which means that it is not tested on animals. These are qualities that many consumers look for in products. However, we have found this product uses an unusual delivery system and concept in order to address sleeplessness, and its environmentally-consciousness formulary may not instantly translate into this product being an effective sleep aid.

 | Ingredients in Focus |
|
This product is based on the concept of aromatherapy, which has become increasing popular as of late. Aromatherapy is fundamentally the use of scents to lessen physical and emotional issues.
This holistic “treatment” uses nice smelling botanical oils that can either be massaged directly into the skin or inhaled through various methods, such as a spray or diffused to scent a whole room. These scents are used most often to boost mood, reduce fatigue, alleviate anxiety and encourage relaxation.
There are over 150 oils that can be used in this system of medicine, which dates back over 6000 years. This technique was employed by the Romans, Greeks and Egyptians who used oils for massage and bathing, as well as for embalming.

Many of the essential oils used in this formula are traditionally used to enhance relaxation. For instance, Lavender, Rosemary, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Thyme, Sage and Chamomile are all used in many aromatherapy formulas. However, Hops, Calendula, Green Tea, Burdock and Rose hips are not commonly used in aromatherapy to generate relaxation or sleep.
Nevertheless, Hops has been used extensively in capsule based holistic supplements as a method to dramatically increase sleep, as it works directly on the central nervous system. A recent research study reported that users who experienced sleeplessness and who used Hops achieved a deeper and more relaxing sleep. However, this has not been proven to be the case when Hops is used in aromatherapy formulas. In fact, aromatherapy has not been proven an effective method of addressing restlessness in any significant way.

 | Final Thoughts |
|
Relax Stress & Sleep Spray may well promote relaxation in some individuals, because the herbs used in this formula are sweet smelling and have traditionally been used to induce a sense of calm. Aromatherapy may be useful for some emotional and physical issues; however, we do not believe that it will significantly alleviate sleep related issues, such as insomnia.
Consumers who are interested in directly and intensely boosting sleep may want to seek out capsule based Holistic supplementation that contains Hops, which as noted above, is a rather intense and effective sleep aid. It is often used in conjunction with a sleep inducing titan, Melatonin, which has been shown to reset the sleep cycle, thereby generating an intense and revitalizing sleep in users, without side effects.
